Sixx A.M. is an amazing bad with haunting lyrics. One of my favorite songs off their first album was a song called, "Girl with Golden Eyes." This song, even after having listened to it a billion times, still sends a chill up my spine. I was listening to this song while I worked on this manicure and I thought it was a fitting song for a more muted mani.

I started out with a base coat of Essie's Sensitivity Base Coat. This is my favorite base coat of the moment. It seems to create a really good base with staying power.

I did two coats of a brown polish from Sinful Colors. I used Nirvana, but the polish didn't show up very well in the pictures. The gold sort of combined with it to create a weird color on my camera. I used a couple different cameras and nothing, but whatever you get the idea!

I then used the Sally Hansen Chrome polish in Gold to stamp the design with. The plate I used was a Shany 2012 plate SH21.

I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite. I really did like this manicure. It was definitely more subtle than I'm used to wearing lately. But I did get quite a few compliments on it while I was out and about that day.
